Quercus fabrei, or Faber's oak, is a species of deciduous oak tree found in China mainland (Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, southern Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Zhejiang provinces [3] ) as well as Hong Kong (Tai Po and North districts [4] ).
Faber's oak can take on the form of either a large shrub or a tree, with the latter form reaching up to 20 metres in height. [3] The tree has elongated leaves, with the tip of the leaf being wider than the base. [5] The leaves are serrated, although the teeth are smaller than those of more well-known oak species such as Quercus robur . [6]
